Roland Martin to meet with GLAAD

2/9/12 8:30 AM EST

Following his suspension from CNN, Roland Martin tweeted that he would meet with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation that had called for his removal from the network.

"I look forward to meeting with GLAAD in the near future and having a productive dialogue," he wrote.

"We look forward to a productive dialogue and to working together as well," GLAAD replied, also via Twitter.

The timing and participants for the meeting have yet to be determined, according to a statement from by GLAAD communications director Rich Ferraro.

Martin was suspended from CNN yesterday for comments he made on Twitter, including, "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl."

CNN described those comments as "regrettable and offensive," and GLAAD interpreted them as promoting violence against gay men.
